For
the canoeist, the Kouchibouguac and the Madawaska
rivers are perfect for easy tripping.
If white water is what you're after you can try
the Miramichi or the famous St. Croix rivers. You'll want to run
these rivers in the spring when the water level is high enough.
Point your compass towards Mount Carleton Provincial
Park if you want to do some hiking or backpacking.Wtth the highest
peak in the Maritimes at 820 metres the park has some 62 kilometers
of trails to choose from. Grand Manan Island is another wonderful
place for hikers who like to explore rugged coastline and watch
sea and bird life at its best.
New Brunswick has some of the best mountain biking
in the east. With an abundance of narrow, rarely-traveled back roads,
long stretches of abandoned rail line and miles of great single
track twisting through the forests, what more could you ask for.
Follow the Miramichi River Route for beautiful river scenery or
for beach biking go to the Acadian Peninsula, which includes the
islands of Lameque and Miscou. Carleton County has great trails
for the vertically inclined and don't forget Kouchibouguac National
Park with its large network of gravel paths and some good twisting
single track.
